Course Offerings
Utah Concealed Firearm Permit Training
Your ATTS instructor is certified by the State of Utah to conduct, teach and certify individuals interested in obtaining their Utah Concealed Firearm Permit. As of this writing, the Utah CFP permit is valid in over thirty states, Illinois not being among them.
The course is taught in a classroom setting via Power Point presentation and lecture, where your instructor, a former deputy Sheriff, verses you on Utah law, their training curriculum, firearm familiarity, safe gun handling and storage, maintenance, lawful transportation, and role play scenarios on what actually constitutes a deadly force encounter. We will also cover firearm selection for concealed carry applications. At the end of the course the student’s retention will be challenged with a short quiz.
The course runs approximately six hours. All applications, fingerprint cards, fingerprinting, training, notary stamping and application sign-off are included in the course fee.
As soon as the State of Illinois passes Concealed Carry, ATTS is ready to train and certify Illinois residents who want to obtain their concealed carry permit. ATTS has been teaching the Utah and Florida Concealed Firearm Permit courses for several years so we are ready to start teaching the Illinois course just as soon as the bill is passed and signed by the Governor.
Course fee: $150.00 per student.
Course fee for Florida Concealed Weapon Permit: $150.00
Course fee for scheduling both state courses at the same time: $200.00
NO student firearms or ammunition are permitted in the classroom.

Two-Day Basic Tactical Pistol Course
If you are a concealed carry permit holder or are routinely armed because of your employment then the ATTS Two-day Basic Tactical Pistol Course should be a must!
On Day One you will repeatedly run pistol handling drills until we feel you’re proficient with them. These drills will include establishing your grip, drawing from a holster, re-holstering, multiple types of magazine changes, immediate action drills and moving off the line of force while engaging threats. Day One is held in a classroom setting utilizing inert pistols and inert magazines.
No live ammunition is allowed in the classroom!
Once our instructors feel that you’re ready, we’ll move you to the live-fire range on Day Two and you’ll perform all of the drills you learned with live ammunition. You’ll also be required to fire a qualification score to pass the course.
This class is primarily geared towards Striker-fired and Double-Action-Only (DAO) type pistols. Striker-fired pistols include the Glock, the Smith & Wesson M&P series, and the Springfield Armory XD/XDM series of pistols.
